With a signature that says "ballin", why are you looking for the cheapest tire on the planet for your Mercedes-Benz?

Buy quality, and your car will repay you. Michelins are expensive for a reason.

Bro, your shoes mostly influence the comfort you experience, and the safety you receive from your vehicle. Those 2 factors are probably the reasons you bought your MB to begin with. Don't skimp on the tires. (Save some dough on the simple maintainence items like doing the oil changes yourself.)

As B-O-R said, your car will repay you.

Dude, NanKangs are known for splitting. Matter of fact when I got my CLS it had Nankang's on it, and they had splits. Got them off in a hurry.

I'm sorry that I tried to help you with my post. It won't happen again. Good luck with your cheap tires. I'm sure that buying new tires every year is a good direction to go in. If you really like the German workmanship, (this is the last time I'll offer advice) you should switch to Volksvagen. Flame away boys.

What?

What the hell did you get a Benz for? Check on Discount Tire. They will sell some damn cheap Nankangs, as cheap as can be.

Trying to help save you some money, and possibly damage to the car/your life and we are lames?

Please post your VIN so we all can avoid buying anything you have ever owned.

Why don't you buy Vredesteins. They are cheap in price, but not quality. They get high ratings in Europe. Read up on them. They make a 285/25/20 size, which is the proper sized tire

When your MB is in a ditch because your tires are junk, please don't come on here asking for good body shops in the area.

Some people think they have a god given right to judge other people and just because he drives a mercedes does not mean he needs to do everything the same way you do. He has paid for the car himself and its his decision what kind of tires he puts on. If you cant give an objective recommendation please dont comment at all.

Not judging him. We (I know I was) were trying to help him make a better, safer choice of tire.

Oh well, I'm stupid for trying to help someone. I will stop.

Your post -- and you -- are equally offensive and ignorant.

Others may not have, but I was judging him. He clearly cannot afford to drive the car and his cheapness makes him a liability on the road.

He should save his pennies and go buy a prius rather than become another hack job car and driver combination that makes the roads more dangerous.

Surprising that all the nannies here that attack people who drive "too quickly" do not realize that this is real danger.

Please explain what does being a Jew have to do with buying tires? Is it supposed to be funny? Is it supposed to mean that you are a cheapskate *******? As a Jew myself, I take offense to your racist statement! And yes, you are a racist, as there are many other ways to say you are a cheap *******.

How are Falkens, they seem reasonably priced? And also have the proper size.

good call on the Vredesteins. I used to run PS2's when I ran 19's. After going to 20's and finding out they didn't make PS2's in the sizes I needed, I needed an alternative. I wanted Toyo T1-R's, but they had been on backorder. My shop recommended the Vreds, I read up on em, and now like them enough to not go back to PS2's (they recently came out with a 285/25/20). The Vreds are sticky, quiet, and track well in the rain, too.
